Way too expensive

$49 PER YEAR just to control more than two computers. That's horribly overpriced.

They need to come down. Synergy is good enough and doesn't require me to pay for it again after a year. Plus the vague and arbitrary criteria they use to decide whether you're a "power user" who has to pay extra just kind of irks me--there's domain on the local network? Pay up bro. (What if you're a student at a university?)

To actually use the software, it has features I'd happily pay for at a more affordable $20-30 per year, or with a one-time fee for the current version. No concept of a client-server, at least in the interface. Your computers are added to a "group" and any computer in the group will send input to any other. It also dims the screens on non-focused computers, so you can more easily determine where your mouse is in a large setup. The only real drawback that I can see is the lack of any Linux support.

I don't think it's really the price that gets to me, just the attitude. They introduce this arbitrary designation where you have to pay more, and you are only paying for a single year. They whole thing just feels like gouging.

AlternativeTo is a free service that helps you find better alternatives to the products you love and hate.

The site is made by Ola and Markus in Sweden, with a lot of help from our friends and colleagues in Italy, Finland, USA, Colombia, Philippines, France and contributors from all over the world. That's right, all the lists of alternatives are crowd-sourced, and that's what makes the data powerful and relevant.
